Jaane kyun log muhabbat kiya karte hain

I have already posted a few songs from “Mehboob ki mehandi” (1971). All its songs are delighful to listen to and watch.
Here is this wonderful song “jaane kyun log muhabbat kiya karte hain”. This song is sung by Lata and picturised on a pretty looking Leena Chandawarkar.

Anand Bakshi must have enjoyed writing the lyrics of this song. And Laxmikant Pyarelal could always be counted upon to come up with outstanding music.

THe singer is definitely great… the Lata Mangeshkar… the cuckoo of India…
But the Lyrics of Anand Bakshi Saab, is the foundation which holds the music, and singer… take the listenrs to heights of emotions the song is intended to.

This song is one of many examples of how a good blending of lyrics, singer and composer makes a unforgettable song.

I found it interesting to compare the ethos of this song with a song in DIL CHAHATA HAI (2001) – with a 30 years gap. There are answers as to why people fall in love. See the video clip of the song written by Javed Akhtar :
